Removes oil and gas from produced water

Page last modified
June 21 2024

The Stauper Compact Flotation Unit (CFU) is a skid-mounted produced water treatment system designed to efficiently remove oil and gas from produced water. It utilizes Stauper's patented coalescence separation chamber (SCC) which creates a unique water flow pattern to ensure robust, stable separation of oil and gas from water. The SCC contains no moving parts or small-bore openings, making it maintenance-free. 

The CFU embodies Stauper's design of housing two or more complete cleaning stages within a single vessel, allowing it to directly tie into the separator as the sole produced water treatment required. Its small footprint and lightweight nature provide space and weight savings. The technology is stable and proven, capable of removing over 99% of oil in water with performance down to 0ppm discharge. It also captures solid particles. With less connections and instrumentation than traditional systems, the CFU delivers significant capital and operational cost reductions. Its simple retrofit enables brownfield upgrading and debottlenecking.
